Hi
I need to generate a patch and I am using patch tool msimsp.exe to create the patch and found that the patch is not proper though created successfully.
Command used
"MSIMSP.exe -s patch.pcp -p " & "patch.msp -l patchcreation.log"
This creates a log but it doesnt generate any errors in the log file about the Removal of files .
But when I build the same patch using Installshield it creates a build log andgives the following errors and later I found that some of the files are deleted in the latest package .
ISDEV : error Val0006: the component is missing in the newer version of the setup.
How to generate the same errors in patch log using msimsp.exe?
Thanks,
Lakshman

InstallShield has some validation tools that the SDK tools don't have.

Thanks for the reply Stefan. Is it possible to use the Installshield tools to generate the same set of error validations using commandline?

I'm not sure if validation can be performed from the command line if it's not an InstallShield project. I don't think it validates the .msp or .pcp but it compared the two msi files to detect that a component has been removed.
